  1. What are my rights as a Whitworth University Student? Student’s rights under FERPA regulations

  2. I have the right… • To inspect my education records maintained by the school. • In order to do so I need to: • Submit my request in writing • Identify as precisely as possible the records I wish to inspect • I understand that: • The custodian of my education records will make arrangements for me as promptly as possible and will notify me the time and place where I can inspect my record • Access will be allowed no more than 45 days after receipt of written request.

  3. I have the right… • To request that Whitworth University correct any information in my education record that I believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of my privacy rights • In order to do so I need to: • Submit a written request identifying the part of the record I want changed and specify why I believe it is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of my privacy rights

  4. I have the right… • To release my student information to parties outside of Whitworth University • In order to do so I need to: • Submit written permission to the custodian of my education record identifying the parties to whom I wish the information disclosed.

  5. I have the right… • To withhold my directory information from all parties, both internal and external to Whitworth University, with the exception of the custodian of my education record. • In order to do so I need to: • Submit written permission to the Registrar’s Office by the second week of the semester • It is important to remember that: • Directory information will then be withheld indefinitely until the Registrar's Office receives, in writing, a revocation of the request for nondisclosure • Whitworth will honor a request to withhold information but cannot assume responsibility to contact me for subsequent permission to release them

  6. For more information I can review the Whitworth’s FERPA policy located on the Registrar’s web site http://www.whitworth.edu/Administration/RegistrarsOffice/FERPA/Index.htm I can contact the Registrar’s Office at (509) 777-3205 or registrar@whitworth.edu
